I was very disappointed with the lack of general child development knowledge and in the way children were treated in this facility by nearly all of the therapists we saw (OT and SLP, though witnessed interactions with other children too).

I love the people here, even the receptionist! They’re so patient and great with the kids. When the kiddos get fussy they handle it very well. Great feedback after every session. I also love how confident they are in the children and how comfortable I feel knowing my child is in great hands. They try their best at finding a schedule that works best for you.
Shandy Clinic is the best therapy service that we have had in CO. They do an amazing job with keeping the facility clean and safe during the pandemic and even before.You can see that the employees love their jobs and love working with children. My daughter is seen here for PT, OT and SP and my son for ABA, SP and OT. I have not had any complaints. My kids love going to their sessions and are always happy to see their therapist. I have tried other places before and had issues with their practices and scheduling with all our appointments was a nightmare. Shandy clinic made it so easy for this mama. They are amazing and the progress my children have made is even more.
